Paper Type Select "Photo Paper" or "Glossy Photo Paper"
Print Quality Choose "Best" or "High Quality" (300 DPI)

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will photo studios accept home-printed photos?

A: Yes, as long as they meet official size and quality requirements. Many people successfully use home-printed photos for passports, visas, and exams.

Q: What paper should I use?

A: Use 4x6 inch (10x15 cm) photo paper. Glossy gives a professional finish, but matte is also acceptable. Avoid regular printer paper as it looks unprofessional.

Q: Can I print on A4 paper?

A: Yes, but you'll waste space. 4x6 is the standard photo size and fits perfectly. If using A4, you can fit 8-10 photos per sheet.

Q: My prints have white borders. What's wrong?

A: Enable "Borderless Printing" in your printer settings. Also ensure you're not scaling the image.

Q: How long do home-printed photos last?

A: With proper storage and quality ink, they can last years. For official documents that need longevity, use archival quality photo paper.

Q: Can I print photos for multiple family members on one sheet?

A: Yes! Our print generator allows mixing different photos on the same sheet. Perfect for family applications.
